#1U 1989 Samick upright Model SU-118 46½" tall 58" wide 25" deep Beautiful polished ebony cabinet with matching bench |
The Samick SU-118 has to be one of the most impressive upright pianos we ever have in the store at this price, when we can get them. The tonal power (especially in the bass), clarity, and evenness from top to bottom, is hair-raising. The touch response is excellent. When one stops to consider that this piano is only 46½" tall, sounds better than a lot of 52" uprights, and sells for less than $3,000, it's all the more impressive. For the money, one couldn't do better than to buy this piano. It blows away many other bigger pianos in this price range or higher. Sadly, Samick makes nothing quite like this today. Lucky for you we have them. |

#7U 1984 Kawai upright Model US-50 52" tall 60" wide 25" deep Beautiful gloss ebony cabinet with matching bench |
You're looking at one of the best selling and most popular upright pianos ever made. Dozens of piano teachers have sent scores of students to our shop specifically to buy this model. This is the most affordable of the "super uprights" made by Yamaha and Kawai over the years...52" full-size uprights that have extra girth, extra power, and a large oversized, grand piano-style music rack, in short, the closest thing to a grand piano in an upright form. Like everything we sell, it comes with our ironclad 10-year all parts and labor warranty and full value lifetime trade-up guarantee. Sound too good to be true? It's not. |

With pianos like this available at our shop, all with our 10-year warranty and famous lifetime full value trade-up guarantee, there's no reason to fork over big bucks to buy a new piano, is there? |

#17U 1979 Yamaha upright Model X 52" tall 60" wide 25" deep Beautiful gloss ebony cabinet with matching bench |
The much requested and seldom seen Yamaha X was the first of many models that utilized the radial back-post design, which improved frame rigidity and produced a tone that is a bit more intense than the average U3. It is considered one of the best vertical pianos ever made and is based on the same internal design as a very popular U3. The tone is full and muscular and the touch is characteristically agile and sensitive. Like everything we sell, it's in like-new condition and is covered nationwide by our 10-year warranty all parts and labor. |
